Arizona Family Trip

We had a great time in Arizona. Lots of sun and no sun burns! The best combination possible. We went for lots of walks and spent a lot of time relaxing. Simon was great on the flight there, though I will try to avoid flying with him alone again. It's hard work to keep a curious boy entertained and still for the whole four and a half hour flight. And man is he getting big! Last time we flew he fit so snuggly in my lap, this time I had to keep gathering little hands and feet off of the nice lady sitting next to me.  It didn't help that he only slept about twenty minutes (poor tired mama). 

In Arizona Simon had his own car seat, a pack and play and even a stroller for walks.  Despite the great digs Simon didn't sleep well the first two nights, I think because the plane ride made him miss a nap. By the third night he was sleeping normally again - about 12 hours a night with two naps during the day. It's hard to do activities when he sleeps so much, but it's really easy to rest! Yay great food and resting! I went to bed around 9:30 every night. So nice!  On the flight home Alan was there which made juggling baby and toys and snack easier - also the fact that the little guy slept for much of the flight in his dad's lap. It was adorable but I didn't want to jostle anyone by reaching for the camera. More pictures after the jump.

I love watching golf with Grandpa Bart. He even took me to hit golf balls! 
I'm going to be a scratch golfer when I grow up.

Arizona Sun

Simon loved the sun. He was practicing his crawl, but he would rather walk with his left leg and crawl with the right. He also kept getting distracted by the shadows in this movie. Lots and lots of pictures after the jump.

My two front teeth

Simon is getting his top two front teeth! The one on his left is definitely emerged and in these pictures the one on his right is just barely there. We tried all sorts of things to make him laugh while someone was taking a picture from under him. If you could have been a fly on the wall while we took these pictures.  

More pictures after the jump.

Picture of the Day: 2/16/12

While we were in Arizona Simon got some intense practice at pulling up. He found a little ladder (aka the bedframe in our room) and would go up-up-and uuuup to try to reach the top rung, then down down down. Back and forth, back and forth. I was washing my hands (maybe four feet from him) one morning while he was practicing and then I turned around and he was gone! (Still not used to him being self mobile...) He was under the bed checking out the leg that you can see in the picture. I think I'm going to miss the days when he would just stay where we left him!

He doesn't usually sleep on his side; it is super cute! Sorry they are so dark, he was sleeping so I didn't want to use a flash. Hopefully you can see them ok.
